If you print more marbles in the toy trading game, their value decreases. Similarly, if a country prints more currency for trading, its value decreases, leading to inflation. In the case of oil trading, if the US prints more dollars, the dollar's value may decrease, and other countries may find a different currency to use for oil trading or create their own.

This sub tends to be limited to repeating the same conversations about a handful of selected authors/titles.

A few times I tried to make posts recommending some different titles by newer authors, and the mods hassled me because of "promotion" (true, I guess?) and "low-effort" (ouch. I could be worse).

I could go elsewhere, but hey it's the only game in town.

Oh boy…yes. Before anyone knew my neighbor had Lewy Body dementia…she kept knocking on my door at all hours to warn me that one of our neighbors was listening to her through her toilet. It sounds funny, but it was incredibly sad and terrifying…there was a point that I thought she would try to hurt the person she thought was spying on her.
